Welcome to Gatecraft.

Hello, welcome to Gatecraft. This page is your one stop shop for everything you need to know. Feedback and comments are welcome, and if you have any questions please ask.

What is GateCraft?
Gatecraft is a Minecraft Survival Multiplayer server based around Stargate. We have real working stargates, as well as several worlds made up to look like mock-ups of how they do in the Stargate universe. (yes I know, I'm sorry I said that word.... killed the damn show.)

Although we are "Stargate themed" you'll find that we're not 100% accurate, and you can build pretty much whatever you want as long as it's in setting with the landscape. This is about having fun, not being 100% accurate.

At the moment we are a very small server, so can only accept up to 5 players at a time. We may be getting dedicated hosting soon though, so obviously we will be able to hold more players. If you find you can't connect, try again later.

What do I need to use GateCraft?
Due to bandwidth limitations, we are asking players to download CraftProxy to minimise our bandwidth overheads. This should result in a smoother experience for both you, and our other users. (As well as not putting too much strain on my poor old server.) Beyond that, nothing except a purchased version of Minecraft Survival 1.15_01.

Is GateCraft public? Do you have a whitelist?
At the moment we don't have a whitelist, this may change later, but we do have ample protection against griefers if that's what your worried about. Not only are blocks you place protected, but you can also set up "Protection Zones" so that only you and people you authorise can build in that area.

Is GateCraft free?
At the moment yes. At some point if/when we move over to dedicated hosting we may start asking for a small donation but this will never be more than $2 a month, simply to cover our server costs, I highly doubt that it will be a mandatory fee though, more a donation system, although the details are still wooly at the moment.

Does GateCraft use Hmod/Bukkit?
We are currently using Bukkit build 740 with several plugins. I won't list them all, but if you ask me nicely I might let you in on a few secrets. (If your interested, check out the "GateCraft Crib Sheet" for a list of commands, not all of them are on there, but most are)

Do you allow client mods such as X-Ray or Fly?
No. X-Ray is full on banned because it looks horrible, and frankly it's cheating. If you play nice, I'll give you access to the "Gimme" command so you'll never have to mine again, although this is disabled by default for new users as an anti-griefing measure. Fly is banned for normal users simply because it totally defeats the object of using Stargates. (you may occasionally see Admins flying though, so we can do magic Admin stuff) If you want to use other client mods that run on a server then ask an Admin first. We won't say no without good reason, but to be honest, it's my server, so I want control of what is used and what isn't.
